We stayed in stateroom 9602 a spacious oceanview balcony stateroom on Mariner of the Seas September 2019. When we head back for Perfect Day CocoCay next year, we will probably book a similar cabin. Booking the guaranteed rate was a good deal as we ended up with an ideal room and location. Having sailed in a variety of cabins from inside rooms to junior suites, we were more than satisfied with this room. For instance, some new decor or additional outlets and USB ports could have been added during the drydock. Though, it would have been nice to see some new upgrades to the rooms. The room layout was manageable with adequate storage available. If you are traveling with four adults or teenagers, the cabin might feel a bit tight. A family of four with young children would probably be able to manage for a short weekend cruise. We felt the room was an adequate size for a couple.Īccording to the deck plans, this room category can hold up to four guests. While the cabin is considered “spacious”, we did not notice any appreciable difference in the size of this cabin when compared to other balcony cabins.

After the long days and nights on Mariner of the Seas, we had no trouble falling asleep!Īs for the balcony, we did not spend much time out there on this short cruise. We are not all that picky when it comes to the bedding, but it was more than comfortable for us during the cruise. The bed set up in this cabin category was located directly in front of the balcony. Below the television, there is also a small refrigerator that we used to store extra bottles of water.

You can position the TV mount so that it is viewable from either the bed or the couch. Off to the side of the desk was a small flat screen television. We use it as a charging area, blogging station, and a spot for the Princess to get ready. The desk is always multi-purpose, especially now with the blog.

In front of the couch was the usual desk area with a large mirror and plenty of cabinet space. For three days, it was large enough to hold all our clothes between the hangers and several shelves off to one side. The closet was located across from the bathroom, on the right-hand side when entering the room. We did also use magnetic hooks to hang things like beach bags and hats over the couch for extra storage and convenience. This space often becomes our storage area during the cruise. Passing the bathroom was a small sitting area with a couch. There was a cylinder-shaped shower with a sliding door and a strategically designed sink and toilet area. It was the typical small bathroom found on most cruise ships.

When you first enter the room, the bathroom was to the left of the door. Even though the cabin didn’t win any awards for the prettiest stateroom, it was an efficient and easy to maneuver layout for a quick getaway. Our spacious balcony cabin’s decor was still the color scheme found on older Royal Caribbean ships. Even though the ship just went through a $120 million renovation, it is clear that the cruise line spent little on updating the staterooms. This stateroom had a very typical setup for Royal Caribbean to which we have grown accustomed. The balcony itself is listed has having a total area of 42 square feet. According to the online deck plans, the room has a total square footage of 203 square feet. This starboard side cabin on deck 10 is considered a Spacious Balcony stateroom.
